The class interviewed persons who were instrumental in the formation and early
years of the GTU. When the collection was given, Zikmund noted that the tapes from John
Dillenberger and Robert Kimball were missing. The interviewees signed release forms.
These are on file in the GTU Archives master files. The release forms for Sanford Elberg
and Sherman Johnson were missing on receipt of the collection.

Background

This collection is the result of course work from a class on oral history offered at the
Pacific School of Religion by Barbara Brown Zikmund and Charles McCoy, Spring 1988. The
interviews were conducted by Zikmund, McCoy, and various members of the class during
March, April, and May, 1988.
